WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT HARLYNNE GEISLER'S WORKSHOPS:

It has been such a pleasure to hear from your class participants about what a wonderful course "Storytelling: You Can, Too!" is. The responses have been nothing but purely positive. Your students speak with the highest regard for you. The class has been described as informative, interesting, and colorful. L. K., Director, Retired adults Program, San Diego State University College of Extended Studies

Thank you for the terrific in-service training you provided to our recreation leaders! We received a lot of positive feedback from the leaders, and it was the highlight of the session. Let's hope that lots of stories are told on all the playgrounds! S. L., Center Director, Canyonside Park

Harlynne Geisler is a wonderful storyteller. This was an excellent presentation. My fourth graders are presently telling stories to other classrooms. She excited all of us, and I found I have some outstanding storytellers. The handouts were very helpful. D. B., Teacher, Sessions Elementary School

Harlynne's joy in sharing stories as teller and as educator has caused her to gather a remarkable repertoire of story material and has given her the knack of tying those stories to the instructional program. Skilled as she is as a storyteller herself, she is amply qualified to teach the art itself to students, teachers, librarians, and parents. I encourage you to make use of the many fine talents of Harlynne Geisler.
Catharine Farrell, Language Arts Unit, California State Department of Education
